As the winter season deepens, Northwest India is set to experience a significant dip in temperatures over the coming days. The cold wave conditions are becoming more pronounced, with some regions already experiencing their coldest mornings of the season. Here’s what to expect in the region:
#### **Cold Wave Intensification**
A cold wave is likely to grip parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and western Uttar Pradesh. The minimum temperatures in these regions are expected to drop below 10°C, with isolated areas experiencing lows between 3°C and 5°C. Delhi recently recorded its coldest morning at 4.5°C, and similar patterns are likely to continue.
#### **Dense Fog Alert**
Dense fog is expected during early mornings and late nights, particularly in Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh. Reduced visibility could impact road and rail travel, so travelers should plan accordingly.
#### **Dry and Chilly Winds**
Northwest India will experience dry northerly and northwesterly winds, which will contribute to the drop in temperatures. These winds, combined with clear skies during the daytime, will result in significant radiational cooling at night, further intensifying the cold.
#### **Impact on Agriculture and Daily Life**
- **Agriculture:** The dipping temperatures are beneficial for crops like wheat and mustard but may require frost protection measures in vulnerable areas.
- **Health:** The cold weather increases the risk of seasonal illnesses like colds, coughs, and respiratory problems. People are advised to wear warm clothing and avoid prolonged exposure to the cold.
- **Energy Demand:** A surge in the demand for heating and electricity can be expected.
#### **Advisory for Residents**
- **Travel Caution:** Plan travel with potential fog delays in mind, especially during the early morning hours.
- **Stay Warm:** Layered clothing and proper heating arrangements at home are essential.
- **Monitor Weather Updates:** Keep track of local weather forecasts for timely updates on temperature and fog conditions.
### **Outlook for the Coming Week**
The cold wave is expected to persist through the weekend and early next week, with gradual moderation in temperatures likely towards the end of the week. However, the nights will remain cold, and foggy mornings will continue to affect visibility in several parts of the region.
